cleaning and that the window glass should be washed, We recom-
mend that the Ordinary ascertain whether or not the company to which
the jail contract was let has complied with said contract and if not that

Court Proceedings.
Judge Estes reached Calarkesville
Monday noon and immediatley or¬
ganized the court empaneled the
jury, called over the docket and
adjourned for dinner.
After meeting again he at once
gave the Grand Jurors the law in
charge which was plain, pointed,
and full ot the law as to their duty
under the oath that the solicitor
administered to them. He made
it plain as to their duty in regard
to public buildings, public officers,
and men who violate the law by
carrying the implements of death
for the purpose of taking the lives
of their fellow men.
In regard to the morals of our
country, he never left a word un¬
said that could possibly aid in bet¬
tering our condition.
When he spoke of the crimes
being committed by vagrant ne-
gros and white men he was very
sympathetic, not for the criminals,
but for the sufferers, and charged
the jury that they cause cases to be
made against every man that had
no employment, and be brought to
trial at once. This is one of the
most important charges he could
have given them and if strictly^ en¬
forced will have a tendency to sup¬
press crimes of this nature to some
extent at least.
As to the public roads he made
plain the necessity of making
changes in th e public highways.
Where they now went over dim-
cult hills go around on the sides
fill up the mud holes with rock
gravel.
